The problem isn't really the software. The audio chipset is a consumer-grade CS4232 that really isn't up to the task. I also have PDAudioCF card that works great, but it's digital-in only. Btw, the CS4232 works fine with JACK in simplex mode, but I get xruns aplenty when the device is in full duplex mode. Not so usable for multitracking. Really, it's underpowered hardware if I want to do what I mean by serious audio work. It's okay with non-realtime stuff though. I agree that ecasound is excellent Linux audio software. Best, dp
